Just to keep you informed. The KDE developers are in close conversationwith several core GIMP developers about the port of GIMP to the KDE. Itcurrently looks like the GIMP people will accept a --use-kde switch withina _unified_ GIMP source tree which will be handled by the code GIMPdevelopers.

These GIMP people think that it is a good idea to prevent a code splitthis way.

Please note: 1.) GIMP <> GNOME 2.) GIMP people mainly want to provide an excellent program to their users not spreading FUD. 3.) Developers seem to be more reasonable than advocates. 4.) Even RMS acknowledged that linking a GPL'd app with Qt on at least a SuSE, Delix, Stampede or Slackware 3.5 system is ok. 5.) I personally do believe that I am entitled to roll my own OS whenever I would like to ;-)
